About This Site

This site is intended to keep TV Studies students (and anyone else who's interested in TV) informed about the latest news, reviews, and views about television. I'll post anything I come across that seems like something a TV scholar should know about, care about, or read about. If you think something fits that category and you don't see it posted here, send it to me at cbecker1/at/nd.edu.
